Zelensky questions whether Musk acted alone in Ukraine Starshield slowdown

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he doubts Elon Musk acted alone in restricting Ukraine's access to Starshield, the military version of Starlink, last month, suggesting U.S. government involvement in the decision that impacted military capabilities. Zelensky told PBS News he is unsure Musk could personally make the call without American government representatives, adding he believes a dialogue led to a negative outcome for Ukraine. The slowdown limited Starshield access for Ukrainian drones, airplanes, and helicopters traveling over 100 mph. Musk initially said the U.S. military controls such restrictions, then later claimed Ukraine violated Starlink terms by using it for offensive drone strikes. Trump administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, denied White House involvement, citing private contract terms.
